Call code based on txt in datasource?

[Oskarkuus]

I have a datasource (dataverse) that have a textcolumn called "dothis"

In this column i store things like "ThisItem.Username" or "Navigate(STARTSCREEN)"

Is it possible to trigger code from a datasource.

if(variable1 = true; ThisItem.dothis)

so that it would perform the code in that column text?

Hi @Oskarkuus ,

This is not possible the way you think,

Since code in column will be read as text and not the code itself.

You can do something similar like,

if(thisitem.dothis = "Create Record",
  <Patch a new record code>,
  if(thisitem.dothis = "Delete Record",
     <Delete the record code>
   )
)

Hope this helps

Thanks.

I had a hope to be able to call code insteade of putting it on controls. It is a mess when u build more advance app with many datasources...

Yeah I know @Oskarkuus ,

I've been there few months back and wanted to build something dynamic within components.

Doesn't happen like that unfortunately.

Good luck 🙂
